Somewhere around 20%. It's really frustrating when your paranoid schizo manages to houdini herself out of 5 pt restraints for the door when you have a fresh spleen lac...and their IV stopped...

Good luck to you all. UC Davis is an awesome place to work regarding learning experiences.

20 hours for leg pain. Diagnosed with plantar fasciitis...

When I was a new grad in 2009 it was rough, I applied at every hospital in both riverside county and san bernardino county. I was lucky, St. Bernardine's hired me as a new grad to ICU....their ICU is...

I don't think there's a formal law? It's more likely based on facility practice. Sounds like they don't have a policy. You could always get an engraved name Pin with your title on it and wear it...

Thanks, I didn't want to inquire too much because they were a coworker. I will ask quality. I would think though that the Board would find out about it for sure because of them losing the license. ...

Have you tried case management? You use your nursing sense of thinking and can simply do a desk job. My last job was that, it was too boring for me and I missed bedside. But it may be just your...

So if a staff member comes in as a patient, and it's a DUI for example. And it became obvious and they told us they started their "desired drug" on shift, how does that work? I know it's reported to...

I had about a 4 month orientation as a New Grad in ICU. Now that I'm new to ER (Level I trauma center with 1:4 ratio, sometimes even an ICU pt stuck in the mix for a bit) I am getting a 8-10 week...

There are programs where you meet all requirements to take boards but still have units to do in order to graduate.

Have you looked at the very rural parts of CA? Eureka? Rideout in Marysville? Those places tend to hire NG, might be better than leaving the state.

Thank you so much guys! I start Dec 3rd! My family and my husband's family is very excited to have us nearby. And my son (he's 2) is excited to be near his "best friends" all his little cousins! ...

So after applying for jobs since early september...I got my dream job! UC Davis Medical Center ER! Very excited! It's a big change for me because my background is ICU, most recently at a case...

Your smart to do that. You should have signed a new job description with an amount you would be paid on it. If they didn't have it done yet, then there's no process even being started....

Something no one else addressed, you said you had given notice with 6 shifts left, did that cover the full range of the two weeks? Or was it actually an 11 day notice because 6 shifts happened to...

Melatonin helps, I run a loud fan (i'm talking a fan that's a step up from the box fan, they usually sell them in home depot) for white noise and to block out oustide. My husband also blocked out...

Just curious, what your background was as an LVN? I went straight into ICU that was mostly CVSICU after graduation. It depends on the person and what they are passionate about. I can tell you if...

It depends on what you are hoping to do? Floor nursing with 6 years experience...I'm guessing around 40/hr. The pay isn't that great for the area. Desert Regional probably pays more. Eisenhower...

I don't think they would. They're going to count the gpa from the current class they use. I doubt it will affect your application.

Amazing. Great teamwork. I can't even imagine the night they had!

So about 45 applications later...1 job interview...I have a job! :) Definitely a challenge, but happy to report it all worked out. I start the week after thanksgiving! I can see why it's so...

What everyone else said is great advice. Other things to include are any special certifications you've earned, such as honors certifications, if you go out on your own and do any courses such as...

Still nothing? :/

First codes are always hard. If you manage to remember to call for help in a timely manner that's pretty good. I've seen a lot of codes but I went over 2 1/2 years in ICU before my own patient...

Not really. My hospital used to have a weekend option, but they actually stopped doing it, and as the nurses who quit or transferred from weekend option left, they did not replace it. They all view...
